Small picture when playing video in Wordpress with HTML5 player and responsive scaling


I have a strange problem, when I try to embed a video in HTML5 mode. I've made a div for the player with a fixed width, but the player shrinks the video as much as it's size smaller than the native video size in every streching mode, except the native mode. I cannot use the flash player mode, because I have a custom skin on a different server and don't know which server domain to write into the crossdomain.xml to work correctly (already tried the jwpsrv.com). How can I solve this problem? My theme is based on the twenty-thirteen theme, but the twenty-fourteen theme has the same behaviour with the player.

Hi Ethan!

The link: http://optoforce.com/wordpress/?page_id=83
It's a 16:9 video in a 16:9 scale player. As you can see, the 4:3 scale video expands correctly..

The player here scales correctly for me.

This picture shows the player while playing a 720p video in Chrome and Firefox. It scales uniformly but has a huge black border. (Sorry for the late response)

In the admin, I would try the different stretching options to see if one of those helps with this.
